After 3 straight days of downpours our pattern will briefly turn colder Thursday and Friday, allowing for a wintry mix to move back in. The ice threat is centered on the morning commute Thursday, especially south of Toledo. While large amounts of ice are not likely, it only takes a thin layer to cause problems. More >

Another
vigil was held Wednesday for missing one-year-old Elaina Steinfurth.

Elaina
went missing at the beginning of June, and although family members say they are
not giving up hope, they need to be realistic about the situation. They say
they are now slowing down their search efforts and focusing on recovery.

"I
gotta kind of take a step back and make sure my other daughter is getting the
help she needs, and is getting through everything the way she needs to, and
just trying to have somewhat of a normal life," said TJ Steinfurth, Elaina's
father.

After
45 days of searching and waiting and praying, the family announced their
decision to focus on their own recovery.

"Most
times in situations like this, a child would surface within 72 hours, and it's
day 45," TJ said.

"We're
at the point where we are starting to search over and over," added Ginger
Smith, a cousin. "The same places – over and over."

So
they gathered for a prayer vigil, like they have many times, and they also took
to the streets, chanting, "Bring Elaina home."

The
family will hold a fundraiser on Saturday, Aug. 3. There will be a benefit
poker run and dinner at the Amvets Post 222 at 4143 N. Summit Street in Toledo.
